Canada does have a national health insurance plan, but there are some things (like several immunizations, oddly enough) that aren't covered. They also have a major shortage of doctors, which is why you'll hear about people going to the US or europe for treatment sometimes. But that's another issue, and probably related to compensation (or the lack thereof).

A big chunk of the money, though, goes to the doctors performing the exam for immigration. (That's a fairly reasonable exception from the national health plan- why pay for your citizens to go through a process needed only for the purpose of leaving the country?) The immigration exam is a special extra that is different from your regular checkup, which is why it had to be done in Toronto- there are only four locations in Canada that are licensed to perform it. And Toronto, for all it's a day's drive away, was the closest.

All in all, the bureaucratic hoop-jumping is eating up a hell of a lot of otherwise-usable time. And money. But, you do what you gotta do.

ssrsly Jenny, start taking it easy or I'll kill you...or something something and other that equally doesn't make nonesense >:/

In all srssness, it's like you're preparing for military training. Do you plan to take a military course when you've settled into the states? You really should! It'll pay for all your college, medical, and some other fantasy crap like that.

Here's some internet soup and a humping parrot to make you feel better! >: D And fureal, missing one comic in 4-? yrs is impressive. But things like that happen, life happens, and stuff. You just don't wanna have babies without being married or prepared for stuff like that.

That sounds like some kind of Paradox that we got explained to us before Christmas Break. In 3rd World Countries more babys are born because more die because of starvation. But more babys means more mouths and more chance of disease striking down the family. PARADOX TIME!

So guys, this weeks comic is going to have a dude selling(or something) a gun to sammie wearing a purple shirt. Why, cause I asked if he was black and Jenny was like "No HE WILL BE PUPLE!" but he wasn't so we threw a fit or something until his shirt was purple
